Find the Compass Bearings

(Published on 8. December 2023, 05:00 by Will Power)

Normal Sudoku rules apply. Gray lines North (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W) contain one each RENBAN LINE (consecutive, but in any order), GERMAN WHISPER LINE (all numbers are at least 5 apart from their neighbors on the line), DUTCH WHISPER LINE (all numbers are at least 4 apart from their neighbors on the line) and CONSECUTIVE LINE (all numbers are consecutive with their neighbors on the line). The solver must determine which gray line is which type. Numbers on each of the four straight lines in box 5 sum to 17. Red lines are also Dutch Whispers lines. KROPKI PAIRS- Numbers with a black dot between them are in a ratio of 2:1. Not all possible dots are given.

I love your puzzles but I'm having trouble understanding the rules of this one. In boxes 2,4,6,8 are there all four types of variants, or one variant in each box? Thanks,
Rick

@rlg The gray lines in boxes 2, 4, 6 and 8 are ONE EACH (Renban, German Whisper, Dutch Whisper and Consecutive). The solver must determine which line uses which (only one) rule. Obviously, if a line meets the German Whisper requirement, it also meets the Dutch requirement, but the reverse does not have to be so. Also, if a line meets the consecutive requirement, it also meets the renban requirement, but the reverse does not have to be so. Peace to you. -Will Power

Very nice, Will. Well constructed.

@PinkNickels Thank you very much. For others with better construction, look at my puzzles "The Great Escape", "Super Index" and "Uniqueness". It doesn't look like you have found those three yet. Thanks for playing. -Will Power
